The impalas near their houses on the savannah in Copenhagen Zoo

            The Impalas (Aepyceros melampu) in Copenhagen Zoo

At Copenhagen Zoo, visitors can meet the graceful impalas, one of Africa’s most elegant antelopes. Impalas are medium-sized animals known for their slender build, reddish-brown coats, and remarkable jumping ability. In the wild, they live in savannas and open woodlands, where they must always stay alert for predators.

The impala is a graceful antelope that lives in Africa. It is medium-sized with long, thin legs and a reddish-brown coat. One of the most special things about the impala is its ability to jump. It can leap more than three meters high and up to ten meters in distance. This helps it escape from predators like lions, leopards, and wild dogs.

Impalas live in herds, which gives them extra safety. They eat grass and leaves, depending on the season. Because they can adapt their diet, they survive well in different habitats, such as savannas and light woodlands.

The impala is also important in the ecosystem. It provides food for many predators and helps keep plants from growing too much. Watching an impala in the wild or in a zoo shows how beautiful and well-adapted these animals are.

In the zoo, the impalas share a large enclosure that gives them space to move freely and display their natural behavior. Guests can often see them grazing, resting in groups, or leaping gracefully across the enclosure. Their long legs and agility are not only beautiful to watch but also show how well adapted they are to escaping danger in nature.

The impalas at Copenhagen Zoo play an important role in education. By observing them, visitors learn about African wildlife and the importance of protecting habitats that are threatened by human activity. The zoo also emphasizes the balance of ecosystems, where animals like the impala serve as prey for larger predators and help maintain healthy grasslands.

Seeing the impalas reminds us of the diversity of life on Earth and the responsibility we have to protect it. At Copenhagen Zoo, they bring a piece of the African savanna to Denmark, inspiring curiosity, respect, and care for wildlife.
